The equation you showed is the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (`H_(2)O_(2)`) by the enzyme catalase into water (`H_(2)O`) and oxygen (`O_(2)` ). You just need to balance the equation by having the same number of atoms per element on both sides.
`2H_(2)O_(2)` ------(Catalase)-----> `2H_(2)O` + `O_(2)`
* catalase should be above the yield arrow
There's also break down of glucose (`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)` ) into water (`H_(2)O` ) and carbon dioxide (`CO_(2)` ) during the process of aerobic respiration.
`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)` + `6O_(2)` ------------> `6H_(2)O` + `6CO_(2)` + energy
